Is there a philosophical label for someone who values the emotional experience of things over all else? For example if a book makes me feel something, whether it's laughing out loud or tearing up, I value this far more than any kernel of wisdom on any other subject.

I believe "weak and effeminate" is the correct term.

What would shut-in males know about actual women? All they ever look at are anime and porn and the occasional tv show or instagram girl

Sentimentalism.

Romanticism dude, what?
Go read some Goethe, Rousseau, Rilke, Novalis, Wordsworth. There's literally a genre called the sentimental novel

That's a misinterpretation of both terms, romantic and sentimental, in that context. Schiller's definition of sentimental doesn't mean effeminate and unphilosophical, it means philosophical in the sense of trying to will some kind of ideal into reality or commune with it. The description of (late) Goethe as a "naive" poet is closer to this, but even that is highly philosophical in its own way.

Sentimentalism, Aestheticism, Moral Sense, Decadence---depends on how far you want to take it and what you want it to justify. Even Hume, Kant talk about this in detail.

But something strikes me:
1. You're trying to make of this a philosophy, or have it otherwise justified in 'wisdom literature,' which shows you're not just working on the level of affect.

Yeah it's highly philosophical that takes emotion and sentiment seriously. I don't see the problem. It's also plenty effeminate, by our standards.
